We all know that speed is an essential aspect of racing and motorsports. Different disciplines will have different top speeds, but since I focus purely on go-kart racing, I’ve wondered how fast can a go-kart genuinely go.

The top speed of a go-kart is around 50-80 mph (80-129 km/h), but some go-karts can reach speeds up to 140 mph (225 km/h)!

Even my Supermoto bike doesn’t go that fast. A go-kart’s top speed, however, is impacted by several factors, like the engine size, the kart’s weight, and the aerodynamics.

I’ll try to explain how all of the aspects I mentioned above affect the top speed of a go-kart below.

I’ll also focus on the top speed and acceleration of go-karts and compare electric go-karts to gas karts.

Go-Kart Categories and Classes

There are eight different go-kart categories that are present worldwide.

Their main differences are the age groups that can participate in them and the engines they use. Some classes are even split depending on their engines’ brand (i.e., Rotax Championships). There are also specific w
